It is possible for you to become qualified to lead your own group in one or more adventure activities. We offer the training and mentoring you will need to become a capable leader for each activity. The preparation for leadership will include technical skill development, faith integration models and group facilitation experience. We will help you decide what specific adventure activities would fit best into the context where you are serving and how to integrate the necessary training to become competent. Once you become qualified, then you are authorized through CCO XD to begin leading student groups.
